Why Personalization Is Important
Japanese school girls going on their way back home. With most schools having strict rules on what to wear and what bags, shoes, and socks to wear, everyone in Japan learns quickly about putting mascots, charms, and trinkets on their belongings to distinguish items they own with others.

This may be only my culture blinded opinion, but the school is destroying the “benefits” of conformity with that ridiculously short “sekuhara” friendly skirts. But I hear that the japanese teenage girls are very fond of their charms and other secondary inprovements of otherwise no so colorful school life. In Czech the kids often tend to look the same, wear the same clothing to fall into the same fashion group with their friends, to strenghten their position in group willingly only a few try to resist. It is nice that the pursue for originality grows better in the culture, where the conformity of clithing is part of the rules.
